Rachel’s goal is to become a Nurse.
The Fedcap Rockland staff have been working with Rachel since last fall. When she enrolled, she was homeless and in the final months of a high-risk pregnancy while working 15 hours a week as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Staff helped Rachel with stabilizing her housing situation and they discussed options for further training and education in the healthcare field. Rachel applied and was accepted to UMaine Augusta’s nursing program. She now has a new home; a healthy baby and she will graduate with her nursing degree in January 2025.
